I have a lot of trouble finding words. Like I know what I want to say but can't find the word. Oh and forgetting names of people all the time. This includes my family, I miss my brain. I won't see it again until I stop breast feeding. I had it back for like 6 months.
My poor husband, I've been calling him everybody's name except his own every time I wanna say something to him. I use our dog's name before his
We shared our pregnancy announcemeblnt yesterday and I had taken unisom early 8n the evening due to ms. Note unisom makes me feel like I have taken a sedative. That and pregnancy brain I almost came on the board to announce to you all im pregnant. Only to remember... we are all pregnant ao duh you know I am expecting!

I just love you (in a non-creepy internet stranger way). Your comments brighten my day.
I was emailing with my sisters in law about dinner plans and literally could not understand wtf they were talking about. The words would just not get into my brain. I finally had to call one and ask her to explain it to me. Like I was a small child. Once we announced she was like- oh! Ok. That makes sense now.
With my DD I filled out a leave slip in my school office totally wrong. The secretary gives it back and asks me to fix it. She had to explain four times why it was wrong. I swear she thought I was an alcoholic or something.
I take local transit to the downtown where my office is located as it is quicker than driving. I had a pregnancy brain moment when I got on the wrong bus coming home from work, zoned out, and ended up in a completely different neighborhood. WTF!
I left the garage door open more than once and then at Costco when I was loading things into the trunk I put my keys in a box and locked myself out. My husband just shook his head.
I went to get tortillas out of their usual spot in the cupboard and couldn't find them anywhere.. I checked every cupboard, the pantry, even the linen closet for like 10 minutes.. found them later in the freezer, where I must have put them yesterday.. then I couldn't find the cheese..that I had apparently left behind all my cereal. Dang it.
Oh my goodness, these posts had me laughing so hard! I haven't done any thing particularly dumb yet but I'm sure pregnancy brain will hit me soon. My husband is going to have so much fun when it does lol.
The way I explained pregnancy to my friend the other night: it's kind of like being really stoned all the time. I can't remember shit, I forget what I'm doing/saying/thinking about constantly, I just want to eat all the food and then take a nap.
Mine is at an all time high but I attribute my mom medicated ADHD. I am just back to how I was before meds but I hate it. The loss of "control" is simply annoying.
This is my fourth and my brain gets worse with memory. I almost always put the milk in the cupboard and oatmeal in the fridge after breakfast and am looking for it at lunch till my husband tells me to look in the cupboard!
I was supposed to lead a group at work and just plain forgot to show up. So 10 people were waiting for me and I had no idea, I was just surfing around on the internet in lalaland! Fortunately a coworker of mine jumped in to do it so I never got into trouble (thank goodness for people who have their shit together).
Also I forgot to show up for my weekly supervision meeting with my boss twice in a row. Oops... Thankfully he's nice about it, but I need to start putting on some serious reminders with sounds and lights and everything so I can show up to things!!
Oh yeah and putting back ice cream in the fridge all the time. That's a classic. So sad to see the melted cream in the morning..........
I almost caused a complete disruption of ISTEP at school today. Pregnancy brain+day one of test proctoring=near system failure. I gave all the kids the wrong test booklets because I didn't know each booklet already had specific names on them (they were on an innocuous looking barcode sticker, so come on!). But really, they almost took high stakes tests under each other's names. Because I could not brain today. Thank goodness my co-teacher walked in before I let them start the test and realized what had happened!

The other day I stepped on the scale and freaked out when it said 165 (last time I had checked was a week & a half ago and I was at 152) me being 5'4 I freaked out so bad but then I realized I was carrying my bag which I had just packed with my makeup, and my lunch for the day... I seriously didn't believe in pregnancy brain until that day!
Last doctor appt. went to leave a urine sample and forgot to use a cup! Chugged a bunch of water and had to try again 20 minutes later to get something for them.
The other day I was so amazed on how quickly I got ready for work... well that's because I forgot to put on my makeup completely! My husband didn't say anything to me when I left the house. I don't know what was worse, looking like a ghost or the fact that no one noticed!
So, I was already pretty forgetful before pregnancy. But now, I hear and read things differently too! (Like how my cousin posted on FB that her niece would "be in a pageant tomorrow" and I thought it said she'd "be getting pregnant tomorrow" ) Also, I teach math, and when we do the problems in our meeting (so we can anticipate the kids' struggles) I'm like "wth is THIS?!" even for simple stuff. #MyBrainIsFried
Last night I did our bedtime routine with DS and then came back out into the living room to watch TV with DH. Went to check on him a few minutes later because he was talking loudly and yelling - I had left the overhead light on his room... it was bright as day in there. Whoops!
I was giving a small talk to some nursing students on cycts. I could not recall what they were called. Once I recalled 'cyst', my brain was not remembering different types of them. Thank God some one has had a kid and said 'wow, Nurse Pugs has some serious pregnancy brain'
I made up for it with a talk about pharmogentics. I can recall that and certain genes that interfere with different meds and the particular ethnic groups that go with them. Yet the word cycts left my brain.
We went to the movies yesterday and at the concession stand I could not for the life of me remember what Swedish Berries were called. I was staring at the sticker of them and drew a complete blank. I think I stuttered for a good 20 seconds and then just pointed at the sticker. Felt like such an idiot afterwards.
I lost my coffee in my house three times in a two hour period. I got so indignant by the third time I was yelling as I walked around my house, "WHO THE HELL HID MY COFFEE??? IF ONE OF YOU HID MY COFFEE I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
My husband and son just laughed at me. Apparently I'd left my hot coffee in the fridge.....
I fed my cats last night and typically they get half a can of wet food with their dry food in the morning and at night. I woke up this morning and went to feed them again and couldn't find the other half a can anywhere! It should have been in the fridge, but it was nowhere to be found...
After pulling everything out of the fridge and wandering around the house searching for it, I found it.
In the freezer.
To make matters worse, I felt so dumb about it that I started crying and my husband was very sweet about it but also very confused.
I couldn't find my keys to go to work and used my spare. When I got home I tore the house apart looking with DH. I finally found them ...in the outside trash can. What is happening to my brain?
Was so excited to have hard boiled eggs for breakfast this week since we dyed eggs yesterday. Yay for healthy eating! Except I forgot to pack them with me. Didn't realize until I almost made it to work. I guess I get to eat two eggs for breakfast tomorrow!
So glad I found this before making a whole new thread, was very close to making mone b/c I didn't think this was in July 2016. When I search for it, the date December 2015 appeared first and then July 2016 is on the end. It wasn't untill I clicked on it that I blived it was the right thread >.<
Also, my pregnancy brain keeps manifesting it's self in really dumb questions, luckily they've only been directed towards my husband so far and either he's been focusing on something else and didn't hear it, so I can quickly brush it of, or he does hear me and get's the funny, confused look on his face before he can form a reply and I quickly say never mind/forget it, pregnancy brain, and then he lets it go.
I know I've had all kinds of crazy, silly things I've done, and luckily I've been alone, with no witnesses....yet
I sent a PB sandwich to school with DS on Wednesday.... but it was more a "wish sandwich" (as in, I wish there was something on this sandwich). I kinda forgot to put PB on the bread before I put it in the ziplock bag.
The same day I opened my fridge to find my brand new bottle of Downy that I'd bought the night before tucked safe and sound inside the bottom door shelf. I'm beginning to wonder if my head is screwed on tight enough.
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
Got a new car and we were selling our old car last week. Some guy was coming to check it out around 2 oclock, which was the time my son got out of school. My husband was going to stay and wait for the guy and I was going to pick my son up. I ended up taking the car we were selling and got a call at 2 from my husband yelling, "where the hell is the car?!". Felt like the biggest idiot. The guy was understanding and waited the 20 extra minutes for me to get home, but damn this pregnancy brain!
Wish my hubs could read this this thread... I don't think he believes pregnancy brain is a thing.
I was having a panic attack last week cause I needed to make a couple important phone calls (government officials, lawyers) and my brain was just blank...I couldn't think about what I was supposed to ask. I phoned my husband twice about it. It's like my brain hit a barrier
I ordered Chinese tonight for dinner and accidentally ordered my DH sweet & sour chicken instead of sesame chicken. He opened the bag and thought the delivery guy gave us the wrong food. I had to admit to him it was my fault He ate it but I'm not sure he really enjoyed it. If he was on this board, I'm sure he would be posting in the weekend bitchfest thread right now.
